Fenders still need some work. Rims are just dirty, no scratches

For the 269s, they are the oem performance ones.

Out of these two I'd go with style 269 without a second thought!

In my local bmw meets, a lot of people have style 269s. It would complete my collection of OEM BMW Perf parts though. =\

The SSRs has a nice mean look to it and fits very snug which i like.

I would go with the ssr. Super light and semi-forged wheels.

What is the offset on them ?

Me thinks SSR = aggressive, 269 = classier. Which look you want?

i think both are fugly. that is my totally unfiltered opinion. for the money, there are many other better designs for the E46.

for the record, i think black wheels are awful. you totally lose contrast of the spoke design against the body of the car. again, i mean no offense. if you like 'em, rock 'em.

hmmm

The 269
I kinda want the 269s because im collecting the performance items and they dont look bad at all. Classy like what people say.

The SSRs
Aggressive indeed. I was never a fan of black rims but when I had the rims on for a test fit, they looked amazing. Very aggressive and "fat" looking.

I am still debating but thanks for the feedback guys!
